mixed reef

Been looking for someone to help me move my established mixed reef (nuvo 40 AIO) from edgewater New Jersey to Teaneck New Jersey (about a 25 minute drive) trying to do it in the next week or so called a few companies including absolutely fish and John’s aquarium service but they are both busy...

Hello! I have been in the reefing hobby for about a year and half now, but have kept aquariums for almost 20 years now. The majority of those being freshwater. I purchased my tank in December 2022 after I fell down a YouTube rabbit hole on reef aquariums, the one that really captivated me was...

We have a mixed reef, 2 clowns, 1 blue tang, 1 sailfin tang, 1 foxface, 2 cardinals, 1 flame angel, 1 mandarin goby, 1 dottyback -- we also have a mix of corals. But, I am curious as to what fish diet you feed weekly. Currently, I give them a seaweed strip in the mornings, and then we feed 2...

Just wanted to see what others have found to be a successful way to manage nutrients in a tank size 50 gallons and under, particularly with no sump. I have a 38 gallon peninsula that I have been running just about 2 years, and for the last 6 months have been running without using a skimmer. It...

So my Woman and I recently got a house together and I decided to upgrade from a 30 gallon nano cube, that we've had running for the past 3 years, to a 90 gallon long. This is the first time I've gone this in depth with an aquarium build in my life and here's what I have so far! I couldn't find...

Hi Everyone, Seems I have the dreaded STN/RTN disease in my tank and I'm considering options in treatment and getting back to a disease-free tank. First of all, tank breakdown including params: 32gal mixed reef biocube, no sump, no filter media whatsoever. Carbon dosing vodka. Tank 3yrs old...

My 150g has been cycling for about 6 weeks and algae growth has been showing for about a week and a half, am I ready to start adding fish and coral? If not how long should I wait more? Parameters below: Salinity:1.025 Ph:8.0 Ammonia:0ppm Nitrate:0ppm Nitrite:0ppm Calcium:400ppm Phosphate:0ppm...

Finally found where to start this. instead of filling up the skip cycle thread. Gonna dump all of my decent photos here and use this for updates :) Eventually I see this tank becoming an anemone only tank in a few years but I don't have room for any more tanks atm so this is it (Yes it is...

Hello everyone, I'm Alex, and after 8 years of being involved in the hobby, I'm about to start my largest tank yet. This thread will serve as a diary to document the entire build process and the tank's development. Since I reside in Germany, I'll be doing the same in a German forum and likely...

I recently aquascaped my new 150g to be mixed reef tank, the sand bed is 3-5” deep. Anyone know any inverts or livestock that enjoy deep substrate?

Just wanted to share my recent set up after taking a very long 15 year break from aquariums Been running close to 10 months now everything seems very happy and is growing (everything except amazeballs) currently on my 3rd frag , keeps closing after few months while a dozen + other Goni do fine...

I rented a par meter for the day here's my result...I can't decided what is best for my reef. I whish to start with soft/lps then move on to sps down the road (aka December 2024) which par map should I choose ?

After a short break of leaving the hobby, I couldn’t resist the itch and started back up with a waterbox 20 and an AI Prime. Long story short, I overcame many nuisances and after a year had a solid nano that could easily grow LPS and Softies. That waterbox survived a short move up the road...

Hello Reef2Reef! I have been in the hobby for about 10 years, enjoying mostly nano mixed reef and low-tech planted tanks. After being without a reef tank for about 1 year following a cross-country move, we decided to take the plunge and start a small mixed reef, trying for a more SPS-dominated...

So I collected my LFS’s 300g display tank for free when a corner seam blew. Over the course of a year I planned out how to tear it apart and reseal it. I had a 120 gallon that went through a crash due to some hard alk swings and the fish and a bubble coral moved into their new bigger home. My...

Hello everyone, I have an aquatop 40 gallon cube tank. This is my first ever saltwater tank. I am semi okay with the aqua scape but at some point in the future I definitely want to redo it. I am running radion xr 15 g6 for lighting and this tank is an lps softie tank.

Hey guys, I just recently upsized to this Red Sea Max 250! I love the curved edges because it’s one less seam to worry about, plus it have a hood for evaporation and jumpers!

I can't find any forums with this answer, I have a friend asking if he can add one of his live rocks that has been established for over a year now with copepods to a new tank under two months. The new tank is a 32 gal that has been doing great, main question is how long should he acclimate his...

I've been on this site for a little while now and I'm finally building a new tank for an older aquarium. I guess I'll do a "quick" recap up to this point. I started with a 55g I got from my sister-in-law around 2006. 55g with some coral life compact Florence and some glo T5s, CPR Skimmer and...

Hey all, Been running a RS Reefer 250 G2 for about a year now. Pretty much self-sustaining at this point...I do small 5 gallon water changes maybe once or two times a month. I'm a believer in "if it isn't broke don't fix it". I have a huge colony of GSP that is thriving, as well as a few...
